General
For all ships trading world-wide, it will in the near future be required to have an approved Quality Assurance System ISO 9002 on board. An important part of your ships QA System will be a Planned Maintenance System for all the equipment on board, i.e. job specications, carried out by, approved by, inspection intervals as well as a separate record book for logging of results. There is no doubt that a properly maintained system will reduce operation costs and obtain a safe and sound ship.

Planned Maintenance System for Framo Cargo Pumping System

Approximately 1.200 ships are today equipped with Framo Cargo Pumping System. Some of them have already an approved Quality Assurance System on board, but the majority will have to develop and implement a QA System in the near future. To give these Framo Ships some guidance, we have in this Service Bulletin proposed a basic Planned Maintenance System on the next pages. The equipment on board, as well as the type of ship and trade may differ from ship to ship our proposal is therefore to be understood as guidance only.

NB!

The above Maintenance System is for guidance only. The equipment on each Framo ship may be different from ship to ship. Framo can, however, be consulted to work out a specic maintenance plan for your ship or you have to use the information in your Framo Service Manual together with your experience. Please dont forget auxiliary equipment such as: Ballast Pumps, Tank Washing Pumps, Bow Thruster Motor, etc.

Ten Rules to remember...

1. Purge the cargo pumps cofferdam before and after discharge. Log and evaluate the purging result. Take necessary action. 2. Never start any dismantling of the cargo pump before you have identied the problem. Always pressure test the cargo pumps cofferdam to identify any leak. Always remember to use the correct tools from the Framo tool box. 3. Use only genuine Framo parts. 4. If you have any problems with capacity, stripping or parallel pumping, check the cargo pumps condition against the performance curve. 5. During discharge: Regulate the hydraulic system pressure to approx. 15 bar above the highest consumer regulate cargo pump capacity by hydraulic pressure, not by throttling of cargo valve. 6. Avoid air in the hydraulic system. Deairate the system on a regular basis. 7. Keep the hydraulic system clean. Cleanliness is absolutely necessary. 8. Take a hydraulic oil sample, every 3rd month for particle counting (ISO 4406). Every 12th month full analyze according to Framo standard 1400.063. 9. Never mix the hydraulic oil with lub. oil. 10. Implement a planned maintenance system for the complete cargo pumping system.
